Why it's here
Rave's rage record, aimed at the Criminal Justice Bill and still furious
Music for the Jilted Generation is rave's rage record, aimed squarely at the Criminal Justice Bill and still furious thirty years on. It's wall-to-wall with the breakbeat science and dark euphoria that made it the genre's crossover blueprint, sequenced front to back with barely a weak moment, and it's the warhead 'The Fat of the Land' would later detonate commercially. Only 'Claustrophobic Sting' keeps it from ranking higher.
